the overwhelming majority support it or participate in it, so yes


Condemning an individual based on generalizations or stereotypes about a larger group is a fundamental part of what it means to be prejudiced. You aren't a moral person if you lump in the hundreds and hundreds of millions of Muslims who've never degraded gays and women with the ones who do.

Greater Islam has been corrupted by Saudi Salafism, but it is nothing short of evil for you to paint all Muslims with the same broad brush.

@Rika_Furude


According the pew research poll on this topic, support for sharia averages around 50% across about 40 countries (both western and eastern). That's around 800 million people going by the "1.6 billion muslims" rule. Exactly how many people supporting decidedly an anti-equality set of laws is "too many" for you? Because "not all" is a fine defense, but how many is acceptable?

(if every day is like restarting a video games campaign mode, then how come it has tiers of difficulty or horrors miles and miles out from town? multiple days rides? wouldn't that be impossible in 24 hours?)


Also, to answer this question *minor spoilers*:
Each storyline is on its own loop. It ends when it's either completed, or the characters are killed. Some of the "starter town" storylines are designed to happen every day, but if any character is pulled from their story "loop" for some reason, that story won't "reset" until that branching path is done. So it's not that every day resets. You're just seeing things at the reset, but it could have been days or months. The result is the same "town" will appear subtly different every time you go back to it.

Contrary to popular belief, both extremes are authoritarian. They're against fascism, but communist governments are just AS oppressive. Fascism wants to control you for the good of the state, and Communism wants you control you for the good of the people. That's why it's so screwed up that we demonize fascists (rightfully so) but allow people to walk around being openly communist. Ultimately they're the same thing.

I think we're just arguing semantics. The general point I was trying to get across is that there's a lot that goes into a fighter behind the scenes. "Priority" may be a byproduct ultimately of just frame data, but that manipulation manifests in a number of different concepts depending on how the frames are played with.

attack priorities

What even is this


If 2 attacks happen at the same time, in most fighting games there's a priority which determines which one "hits" and which one doesn't. Some games will have a "clash" system (Guilty Gear) to resolve this issue, but many prioritize attacks. Which projectile goes through which other projectiles? Can a grab connect at the same time as a punch? etc.


In most cases, what you're talking about is just in the frame data. Fighting games have had double kos since SF2.


You're mostly correct in that priority is more of a misnomer as a term to explain the frames and hitboxes, It's a bit more than that. Here's a guide I found:
https://www.eventhubs.com/guides/2009/sep/18/guide-understanding-hit-boxes-street-fighter/

There's also I-frames and super armor to consider, and like I said there's also the issue of how you handle projectile collision. Some games give projectiles "HP" that determine when they cancel each other out or when a move (like a super) cuts through enemy projectiles.

This is a strawman. You're also trying to start new arguments when you lose the previous one.

The original point Admiral made about a "decline" in the Muslim world was completely wrong. Accept it and move on, history isn't always going to your confirm your political views.


Fine, the decline of the ottoman empire was not entirely due to a conservative shift in Islam but also due to other world factors. You were right. That doesn't change a single thing about Islam being awful. It's still owner of by far the most genocides. It's still dominant in 52 countries, all of which are bad. It's still producing "moderate" followers that believe far more socially conservative ideas than everyone around them. It's still not integrating into western societies. It still produces nothing of value in STEM and hasn't for hundreds of years. It is a cancer that ruins people and societies that is extremely resistance to reform, built on a 1400 year old book "written" by a warlord pedophile and filled with horrible things, made somehow even worse by the Hadith. The very best thing the world can hope for is the Islam implodes and the religion fades into history like every other bad ideology.

More innocent people have died on boats in the Mediterranean trying to flee war zones than have died thanks to ISIS terror attacks in Europe. With how regressive you are you probably don't care though. Letting someone die isn't any different than killing them.


Then blame Merkel for opening the floodgates in the first place without considering or consulting with the countries that lacked the GDP or general ability to take in hundreds of thousands of uneducated non-speaking young male foreigners.

Are deliberately disregarding linear time again? The industrial revolution was 500 years after the Arab-Islamic world plummeted into the dark ages due to embracing religious fundamentalism.

A compelling argument.


You know how conservatives are always asking why anyone would need an education? This is why.

The end of the Islamic golden age has nothing to do with some non-existent turn against science. It was brought on by the Mongol invasions, the sack of Baghdad and the destruction of the House of Wisdom. Science, literature, architecture, etc all flourished under Ottoman rule for hundreds of years.

The middle-east did not decline relative to Europe until the industrial revolution where everyone declined relative to Europe.

Ottoman rule also led to multiple genocides. Is it cool if we accept Nazis because they kept the trains running on-time? Because that's the argument you're making.
